Although the call ended abruptly, and he was initially a little taken aback, Chi Jingyuan quickly recovered.
Although Lim Yoona didn't say it explicitly, the timing of her call clearly indicates that she had heard about the drama.
This is probably because the senior actor knows that the production team hasn't been set up yet, the script isn't finished, and it's unclear when the roles will become unsuitable. Even he couldn't make any promises out of thin air.
So the senior simply didn't ask about those serious matters, and just chatted casually like friends, leaving a mark in his mind so that they could continue to keep in touch after a while.
They can't just go back to their usual routine of not contacting each other much in private, and then suddenly start talking about TV dramas and characters... That would be too abrupt, and a senior like them wouldn't do something like that with their emotional intelligence.
As for whether the senior was too shy to speak up... Chi Jingyuan immediately ruled out that option.
If the senior had such a thin skin, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today.
After understanding Yoona's intentions, Ji Kyung-won couldn't help but smile, and even felt a little bit of trepidation.
The senior really... treats him like an outsider.
It's just a favor, why all the roundabout talk and preamble?
If it were Bae Suzy, she would have just opened her mouth and asked for it.
However, the way the senior did it made him stand out from those who just kept asking questions right away.
Worthy of being an idol.
In fact, Ji Kyung-won doesn't mind helping with roles and resources; it's very normal in the industry. He just helped Bae Joo-hyun get a collaboration with GUCCI, isn't that how connections between friends are used?
Yoona had been friends with him since his debut, and the scene of their first meeting at Sunny's birthday party left a deep impression on him.
They weren't very close before, but when they first met, there was always a lot of support from the senior actors, like the support trucks for every filming and birthday wishes. They did everything very well. When Ji Kyung-won wasn't famous yet, he was really touched to see the support trucks from his seniors when he filmed his first movie.
Although she may have initially been motivated by some kind of investment mindset, Chi Kyung-won was still quite grateful.
If it's something else, Chi Jingyuan is really willing to help. Even if it's just to introduce him to some high-quality film and television resources, he wouldn't mind.
only……
Filming together... that really gave Ji Kyung-won a bit of a fright.
Sensing Yoona's meaning, he felt as if a dark cloud had naturally settled over the cover of his unfinished script, "MOUSE," as if it had been cursed with some kind of terrifying spell.
...It doesn't look like a good omen at all.
Ugh.
Chi Jingyuan sighed inwardly.
In a sense, Ji Kyung-won actually really wants to collaborate with Yoona once; it would be quite interesting no matter how you look at it.
But he was genuinely worried that one day he might be visited on set by a senior actor in costume...
Just as I was thinking about it, the phone rang again after I had just hung up.
Sigh, Chi Jingyuan picked up his phone and sighed. It seems that being too popular and well-liked isn't all good. There's been no peace and quiet all day.
Upon picking it up, I saw that it was Bae Suzy.
"Have you taken on a new role? Or is it a Netflix original series?"
Bae Suzy was different. This woman didn't beat around the bush at all. She asked directly right away, and she spoke quite quickly.
"You know it all?"
Chi Jingyuan leaned back and asked lazily.
"What do you mean 'I know everything'? Are you looking down on me? I'm very well-informed!"
Upon hearing this, Bae Suzy became less anxious and started boasting to him with a rather arrogant air: "I'm now the top Bae Suzy of the younger generation of actresses, Kyungwon-xi!"
"Are you also Madame Bae?"
"also?"
Ji Jingyuan couldn't help but make a comment that Bae Suzy didn't understand, but before she could ask any more questions, he continued from where he left off, saying, "Yes, I've already accepted the new drama. It's a Netflix original."
"Why the sudden collaboration with Netflix?"
Bae Suzy asked with some confusion but also great interest, "Didn't you have a lot of opinions about them before?"
She's been busy with several brand events and magazine and advertising shoots with GUCCI lately, and she only hadn't paid attention for a few days before she heard about Ji Kyung-won's new drama, which is even on Netflix.
I remember when we talked about this in bed, Chi Jingyuan seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Netflix because of the bad impression he had from that time.
Am I the kind of person who's petty and narrow-minded?
Ji Jingyuan gave a dismissive smile... He was just annoyed that after Netflix's original series failed, they approached Bae Suzy but she didn't even contact him.
"Last time was just an accident. Actually, from the beginning, Jae-hyun and I thought Netflix's model was good, and their global expansion was very ambitious... Although it seems like they've hit a wall in Japan, and also on the peninsula..."
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh as he spoke. Netflix's current situation was indeed not very good, but he still spoke highly of his new partner: "However, the parent company is indeed willing to invest, so the situation on Peninsula should only be temporary... Moreover, the terms offered are really hard to refuse."
He casually revealed some details about his contract with Netflix to Bae Suzy.
"Mo? How much? 250 million per episode? Is Netflix that rich? How come I didn't know that before?"
Bae Suzy was stunned after hearing this, thinking she had misheard: "And the script is tailor-made for you, you have the right to modify and make suggestions about the script, and even the right to cast the actors?"
"Are you kidding me? Is this a right that actors can get? Even talent agencies don't get this right, right?"
The woman's casual tone had vanished, replaced by a rising intonation filled with astonishment and undisguised envy.
She had been wondering why Chi Jingyuan had suddenly partnered with Netflix to produce a self-produced series, but now that she heard the terms offered, she instantly understood.
"If I had known they contacted me earlier, I would have talked to them more... Is there still a chance? Can I go too? Can they offer me the same terms?"
Bae Suzy was instantly smitten.
"You're not making movies anymore?"
Ji Kyung-won recalled that Bae Suzy had recently said she wanted to make a movie, adding, "Drama is meaningless; no matter how many dramas you make, they can't surpass 'Goblin.'" Her words still echoed in his ears.
"If I had those kinds of conditions, who would bother making movies?"
Bae Suzy spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and even with a hint of urgency.
She was genuinely envious. For so many years, she had been working at JYP, a company with absolutely no influence in the film and television industry. Heaven knows how hard she had worked on her path as an actress before meeting Ji Kyung-won.
After the huge success of "Goblin," she felt the time was right to try her hand at movies... but then she suddenly heard about Netflix's collaboration with Ji Kyung-won.
With the highest salary, the most exclusive treatment, the ability to interfere with the script and casting, and even a series of preferential treatments during filming and post-production promotion, Netflix is clearly treating Ji Jingyuan like a lifeline.
Hearing these conditions made her eyes well up with tears; not only her, but even JYP wouldn't dare to dream of such a thing.
After all these years, she has finally made it big, so Bae Suzy really wants to experience this kind of 'superior' treatment.
The woman's genuine shrewdness made Chi Jingyuan chuckle, but after thinking for a moment, he offered his advice: "I think Netflix has a promising future... If you're interested, you can have your agent talk to them; it shouldn't be a problem."
"They probably can't offer me this contract... but it won't be too bad either, your current popularity is quite important to them."
Bae Suzy was not exaggerating. She is indeed one of the top young actresses. Her acting skills may not be the best, but her popularity and public recognition are truly impressive. The fact that Netflix contacted her twice proves this point. If she is interested now, Netflix probably won't refuse.
...The success of "Goblin" certainly made her very wealthy.
However, it's unlikely that Chi Jingyuan will be given all the power again; he'll probably just get a higher salary and better treatment.
After all, when it comes to the benefits of "Goblin," Ji Kyung-won is the one who reaped the most, while Bae Suzy is still far behind him.
However, as he was speaking, Chi Kyung-won suddenly remembered Lim Yoon-ah from earlier.
Yoona, having heard about Ji Kyung-won's drama, can only try to find a chance to participate... while Bae Suzy's first reaction upon hearing this was whether she could directly collaborate with Netflix and try to get the same treatment as Ji Kyung-won.
They are both idol actors, but there is already a significant difference in their career trajectory.
The veteran actors worked diligently on their films, but they couldn't compare to Bae Suzy, who used her connections and connections to get ahead.
...How despicable! Bad money drives out good.
"I'll have my agent contact them later."
Bae Suzy is very opinionated. She didn't hesitate at all about the movie she had been longing to try, and immediately prepared to take action.
She was about to hang up when Chi Jingyuan casually asked her, "By the way, when will your GUCCI endorsement be officially announced?"
Upon hearing this, Bae Suzy seemed to be provoked, her breathing becoming noticeably rapid. After a brief silence, she asked in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "Speaking of which, Kyungwon oppa, was this your doing?"
"Huh? What?"
The woman's attitude suddenly changed, leaving Chi Jingyuan puzzled and completely unaware of what she was talking about.
Did you orchestrate the timing of the official announcements of these GUCCI brand ambassadors?
Bae Suzy gritted her teeth, her tone quite indignant: "I am the brand ambassador for women's clothing in the Peninsula region, and she is just a brand ambassador for a jewelry line. As a result, she was announced a few days ahead of me and became the first female idol in Peninsula to get a high-end luxury title."
"The first one has the biggest impact; the others are hardly noticed at all."
"Look how famous she's become these past two days! It's all over the news, inside and outside the industry. I was the one who proactively contacted GUCCI for the collaboration, and she only got the resources because of your connections, right? How come she's taking all the benefits now? ...You've already broken up, yet you're still thinking about your ex and letting her outshine me. Isn't Jingyuan oppa being a bit too nostalgic?"
Chi Jingyuan's casual question seemed to have really hit Bae Suzy's sore spot. She rattled off a whole bunch of things, complaining and praising at the same time. She really mastered the art of being sarcastic and sarcastic.
However, after hearing what she said, Chi Jingyuan understood why this woman was angry... This time, GUCCI is scheduled to announce several collaboration titles in succession, so there will naturally be a sequence.
The first person to do something has the greatest influence. Just like Bae Joo-hyun this time, she really sparked a nationwide discussion with the title of "the first high-end female idol". Even though many people felt that she was not qualified, her influence really spread.
This level of popularity is truly enviable, and it has significantly boosted Bae Joo-hyun's status.
There was very little discussion surrounding Oh Sehun's official announcement, after all, with Ji Kyung-won setting a high bar, his later announcement really didn't generate much buzz.
The title of 'number one' has been stolen. Now, Bae Joo-hyun has stolen all the limelight and topics by being 'number one'. Even if Bae Suzy makes an official announcement later, the public will not be as excited and enthusiastic as before.
As a result, Bae Suzy was naturally very unhappy... And indeed, as she said, she was the one GUCCI actively wanted to collaborate with, the 'official' one, while Bae Joo-hyun mainly got her resources from Ji Kyung-won.
But Ji Jingyuan is also innocent. The official announcement time was set by GUCCI itself. He really didn't interfere at all, so how can you blame him?
This woman is so jealous she's lost her mind; she deserves a spanking.
"What does this have to do with me? If I were sick, would I bother getting involved in this?"
Chi Jingyuan wasn't intimidated and retorted irritably, "It's definitely because they think the important people are introduced later. Wasn't my title upgrade announcement also scheduled for later?"
"Hmph, that's all because of your influence. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have had access to this resource at all..."
Bae Suzy had clearly been holding back a lot of anger these past few days, and she was venting it through this unreasonable argument: "I clearly got in through my own abilities, while she just used her looks to get in..."
"you……"
Chi Jingyuan was speechless at the woman's shamelessness.
She claims she got the role through her own abilities, and even accused Bae Joo-hyun of using connections. If it weren't for Ji Kyung-won helping her back then, who knows how long it would have taken for this woman to get another role after "Uncontrollably Fond" flopped, let alone film "Goblin".
She used to rub her thighs against him in bed, begging for his help, and got the female lead role in "Goblin" thanks to him. Now that she's famous, she's suddenly changed her tune and shamelessly started to claim she's "relying on her own abilities" to take the "strong woman" route.
Others may not know, but surely Chi Kyung-won knows?
And you look down on Bae Joo-hyun? Doesn't the eldest sister talk about the second sister?
Yoona is the one who truly relies on her talent; otherwise, how could she have ended up in such a miserable state?
"With your talent, why do you care so much about first or second place?"
After a brief silence, Chi Jingyuan slowly retorted, "Princess, your personal strength completely overcomes the time disadvantage."
"ah……"
Hearing Bae Soo-ji's furious outburst through the receiver, Chi Kyung-won chuckled and hung up the phone, letting out a smug hum.
Return to strength.
I'll go to your house tomorrow and teach you a lesson.
Let me show you what real strength is!
…………
Time flies, and it's August 30th. Bae Suzy, who had been scolded all night, appeared in front of the reporters with a rosy complexion and full of energy.
Meanwhile, GUCCI has once again officially announced a new spokesperson for the Korean Peninsula, reuniting the former "Goblin" couple within the GUCCI brand.
